A Moscow court on Tuesday said it had extended until January the detention of US reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested in Russia earlier this year on spying charges.
Russia has presented no evidence to support the case against Gershkovich, which is proceeding in secret because Russia says the case materials are confidential
"Under the cover of his journalist status, he was collecting information classified as a state secret," Russia's foreign ministry said Sergei Lavrov told US counterpart Antony Blinken.
